Patrick Peterson plays offense, runs trick play

The Cardinals have some trickery up their sleeves with cornerback Patrick Peterson. Over the course of the preseason, there was a lot of talk about Peterson helping on the offensive side of the ball. He?s lined up on offense a few times this year, but nothing has really happened until today. Against the Lions with about five minutes left in the third, Patrick Peterson lined up on offense when Carson Palmer snapped the ball, handed it off to Peterson who spun around and rolled out hitting receiver Kerry Taylor for a seventeen yard pickup. Check it out! Follow us on Twitter @DownandDistance� Down and Distance Editor-in-Chief ? Justin Arbogast @NFLGuy_SK The post Watch: Cardinals? Patrick Peterson fake end-around Pass appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE - Presented by Sports-Kings.

WATCH: La. Tech's kicker hits both uprights, still makes field goal

This sort of achievement should be worth more than three points. In fact, give him a touchdown. No, give him two touchdowns. No, make him the coach or mayor, because he certainly earned it. On Thursday night, Louisiana Tech kicker Kyle Fischer did the kicking unthinkable against Tulane. He hit both field goal uprights on [...]

Patrick Kane Puts on Ridiculous Stickhandling Show in New Bauer Commercial (Video)

Patrick Kane dazzles on the ice with his magician-like stickhandling skills and hands that are impossibly fast, but his latest commercial for Bauer is truly something else.
In the video that the Blackhawks winger says took only 20 or 30 minutes to film, Kane showcases his ability of being able to control a puck. The advertisement begins with Kaner moving one puck around four others that are placed close to one another. More and more pucks are then added in as No. 88 continues to navigate his way through the hockey obstacle course flawlessly.
The video concludes with Kane lifting the puck on his stick and hitting it into the camera, and while his accuracy probably could?ve handled that task, he maintains that segment is the only part of the video that is not real.
Check out the commercial for Bauer?s new Vapor stick in the video below, but moves like Kane?s aren?t guaranteed.

Marshall Henderson surfaces at Ole Miss tailgate

Marshall Henderson may be indefinitely suspended from the Ole Miss basketball team, but that?s not stopping the mercurial Rebels star from enjoying a Saturday afternoon tailgating at The Grove. Nor is Ole Miss hiding the fact that he was there this past weekend. In fact, the photo below was published from the athletic program?s official Instagram account. We like Henderson?s decision to let his hair out. It?s as if he?s intentionally giving opposing fans something more to taunt him with if/when he?s back on the court during the 2013?2014 season.

Bobby Valentine stands by claim about the Yankees and 9/11

Bobby Valentine?s comments Wednesday on the 12-year anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 were puzzling enough. But when called out for what he said, Valentine dug in even deeper. The former Mets manager blasted the Yankees on Wednesday saying New York?s other team wasn?t as involved in the relief efforts following 9/11 as the Mets were. The Yankees were nowhere to be seen, Valentine claimed, while essentially telling everyone how much he and the Mets did at the same time. It was baffling why Valentine would bring something like that up, especially on 9/11, but it was summed up as Bobby being Bobby. The Yankees, unsurprisingly, decided to respond to Valentine?s claims. ?Bobby Valentine should know better than to be pointing fingers on a day like today,? Yankees president Randy Levine said, according to ESPN.com. ?[Wednesday] is a day of reflection and prayer. The Yankees, as has been well documented, visited Ground Zero, the Armory, the Javits Center, St. Vincent?s Hospital and many other p...

Park looks to make history at Evian Championship

Top-ranked Inbee Park has two objectives at the Evian Championship: Successfully defending her title and making history.

The South Korean is looking to become the first professional golfer to win four majors in a year, something not even the likes of Arnold Palmer, Annika Sorenstam or Jack Nicklaus could manage.

''Four out of five majors is an amazing thing to achieve,'' Park said on Wednesday, a day before the event. ''When I go outside the house and go anywhere in Korea, a lot of people come up to me. It's like I'm a celebrity.''

After winning the U.S. Women's Open in June for her third consecutive major of 2013, her bid for a fourth straight ended at the British Open in August, when she was out of touch and four-putted for double bogey on the first hole of the final round.

But she is still the overwhelming favorite at Evian.

''I'm sure the experience I had at the British Open will help me through this week. This is going to be a much better week,

New Zealand vs. South Africa: Key Battles to Watch

The 2013 Rugby Championship hots up this weekend with what promises to be the first genuine showdown of the tournament as New Zealand host South Africa at Eden Park in Auckland.

Key individuals battles will be taking place all over the park in front of a sellout crowd as both side look to maintain their perfect record of three wins.

Both overcame the forward power of Argentina and made relatively light work of the struggling Wallabies, but now they face a real test that will serve as genuine marker for both teams.

Table toppers South Africa have been a team in development, but they hit their straps with a record win in Australia last time out to suggest Heyneke Meyer's outfit are the real deal.

New Zealand have not been truly tested this year and need to show their record thumping by England at Twickenham last winter was merely a blip.

We take a look at the individual battles that are likely to settle this seismic showdown.

Ohio State Football recruiting: Noah Brown Commits

Urban Meyer can do it all. He wins games on Saturdays and gets verbal commitments on Mondays. The latest proverbial ticket punched to Columbus comes from 4-star WR Noah Brown. The�6-foot-2, 212-pound Sparta, N.J. native picked the Scarlet and Gray despite offers from schools such as�Michigan State, Notre Dame, Penn State, South Carolina and the seemed-to-be favorite Rutgers.
Noah Brown announces commitment to Ohio State over Rutgers.

Brown, the 18th commitment in the Class of 2014, was in Columbus this last weekend for the game against San Diego State, and according to Eleven Warriors, his weekend trip sealed the deal.
I had wanted to make my choice before my season started, and the visit to Ohio State this time just reassured me that Ohio State was the place for me. I feel very comfortable with the choice because I am comfortable with the staff as people. The football program is incredible, the ?Skull Session? just showed how much ...

Case continues over Thorpe's body

The hand-lettered donation jar on Anne Marie Fitzpatrick's store counter says what many residents of this well-preserved Victorian-era town are thinking and feeling lately: "Keep Jim Thorpe in Jim Thorpe."

The surviving sons of the famous American Indian athlete have long fought to get the remains of their father moved from Jim Thorpe, Pa., to tribal lands in Oklahoma, where he was born, and they recently won a crucial legal victory that put them close to their goal.

But Jim Thorpe isn't letting its Olympian namesake go without a fight. Residents and business owners are helping to raise money for the town's appeal -- to be filed later this month -- saying they have honored, appreciated and respected a man long considered one of the 20th century's best athletes.

Hence the donation jar on the counter of Fitzpatrick's gift shop, prominently displayed between the cash register and a rack of cat figurines.

"We have no intention of letting him go," said Fitzpatrick, an or
